Santoku is a cross between a chef's knife (gyuto) and a chopping knife (nakiri). The tip of the blade, which is directed downwards from the center of the knife, allows you to find a more stable support on the work surface and a larger cutting surface. Well suited for cutting and chopping meat, fish, vegetables and fruits. Santoku is a very popular utility knife in Japanese homes. Thanks to the wider blade, it is very convenient to use the santoku to lift chopped food from the cutting board to the pot.

The Hammered series is one of the recent new products of the renowned Japanese knife manufacturer Tojiro. The cutting core of the knife is made of VG-10 stainless steel, which is coated on the sides with a softer stainless steel 13Chrome. The surface of the knives of the Hammered series is covered with a new hydrophilic ECO Clean coating, which ensures faster drying of water that gets on the knife and better cleaning ability, as well as very good non-stick properties.

The handle of the Hammered series knives is made of traditional magnolia wood and is more comfortable to use in the hand of a right-handed chef due to its D-shape. The Tojiro Hammered knife is a beautiful and effective looking choice for both professional and home cooks who can appreciate both traditional Japanese design and modern technologies.
